Hi Anon,

Here is an excerpt from the US FDA website, and the link to full article is below. Hope this helps, SusieQ

"If one partner has a yeast infection, the other partner should also be treated for it. A man is less likely than a woman to be aware of having a yeast infection because he may not have any symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may include a moist, white, scaling rash on the penis, and itchiness or redness under the foreskin. As with females, lowered immunity, rather than sexual transmission, is the most frequent cause of genital yeast infections in males."

>predictable (about 4 wks between each).
